Cannot receive email from Yahoo

I have 2 POP email accounts from Yahoo. Both have worked fine for about a year. All of the sudden on Nov 1st, I can no longer receive email only on one of the accounts with Mac Mail. The second account continues to function fine. I also have no issues accessing my mail through a browser.
So far I have done the following;
-I have verified with yahoo that all the settings are correct.
-I deleted the first account with the problem and then recreated it. When I did this it downloaded ALL the email messages on the server but only up unitl Nov 1st when I started having the issue. I received no email messages sent after Nov 1st.
-I set-up the email account on a Win XP box (same network) with Outlook Express and was able to download ALL the messages including ones after Nov 1st.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I went into Yahoo webmail and deleted a few emails on the date when I stopped receiving email. Magically, all my subsequent emails were were delivered to my MAC email client. One of the emails must have contained something that created an issue for Macmail. I have had no problems since.

Cannot receive emails from a specific sender

attempting to receive emails from a email address i.e. [email protected] Hav tried adding contact lists and have attempted changing filters in Apple mail, but still not getting the email . How can I solve this?

Check and see if the e-mail is on the e-mail provider's web site. It may be getting rejected by the e-mail provider.

Cannot send email from yahoo account on iPhone 5

I just got an iPhone5 and I couldn't set up my Yahoo email as "yahoo"--it would not allow me to complete the process despot multiple attempts. I had to set it up as an "other" account. I can receive and read emails on my phone, but when I reply those messages will not send. They go to the outbox and an error message pops up that says" the email account has been rejected by the server" Does anyone have advice on either issue: setting up yahoo properly and/or sending email from phone?

That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Can't send receive email from Yahoo account or send from .mac account

On 5/1, when launching Mail, it asked me to update to new settings or use old settings. I should have kept the old settings. Instead, I had to set up all of my email accounts again. Everything is working except receiving mail from my Yahoo account. Also, I can receive mail from my .mac account, but can't send from it. These accounts are working fine on my iPhone. Is there a way to restore old email settings? Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Jeffrey,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Is there a way to restore old email settings?
Only with a backup or Manually redoing it/them, which may or may not lose the mail you have.

Cannot receive emails from specific addresses

I am not able to receive messages from a couple of specific senders, I can email them, they cannot respond or send a new email.
I am wondering if I accidentally bounced that email back as I have been having to bounce multiple spam lately and could have included an email from them. I tried to find a way to look at my bounced emails and cannot find - is there a way to look that up? And if so, can you reverse a bounce?
IMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can't reverse bounced message.
Since spammers don't provide a valid sending or return email address, using the bounce feature on spam is a complete waste of your time.
When used on spam, all you get is a return email error message indicating the bounced message was not deliverable.
Some spammers use a valid email address from their "known good" email address list to appear as the sending email address for their garbage. Using the bounce feature on such a spam message will work but you are not sending the bounced message back to the spammer - it is going to some unsuspecting person who is not aware their email address is being improperly used by a spammer.
Bouncing a message sent from a legitimate source will not prevent receiving messages from the sender in the future. The only thing a bounced message does is indicate to the sender that your email address is not valid so hopefully the sender will not attempt to send you more messages in the future.
I am not able to receive messages from a couple of specific senders,
I can email them, they cannot respond or send a new email.
What exactly does they cannot respond or send a new email to you mean?
Do these senders successfully send you a message but receive a return email error message indicating the message was not deliverable or something else?
If the former, what does the return email error message indicate?

Cannot receive email from Verizon in Thunderbird 31.5.0

Have successfully used Thunderbird with Verizon email for years.
Recently updated to Thunderbird 31.5.0. Now cannot receive any Verizon messages---but can successfully send messages.
Can receive Verizon messages on Android phone and with Verizon webmail client---Verizon account is functional.
After many attempts to debug (including 15 mins on line with Verizon tech support), deleted Verizon account in Thunderbird and created a new account. Still cannot receive messages....but can still send messages.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice/help.
Ed

I am really sorry if I have upset you by posting the same message twice. I only registered for the Forum this morning and this was my first message. I clicked Send before I received the email to confirm my address. I therefore assumed that the message had not gone.
I apologize for this and can assure you that I will not do it again.
If you are able could you give me some pointers as to what is happening. On looking at my Outbox it looks as though the message did go even though I got the error message.

Cannot send email from yahoo mail client

I cannot open or send or attach anything to my email in the yahoo mail. I know there's nothing wrong with the email because it works on my laptop, just not on my computer. Could there be a setting problem, or a cookie problem or something?
I also cannot open Bonjour to see my printer settings. Everything was working fine yesterday.

Lately I cannot receive emails from sites where I am trying to recover a password

Recently I have tried to retrieve a password on two different websites and when they send me an email with the temporary password, Firefox rejects it with an instant error message that I cant even read.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Hi Beigi,
According to your description, I understand that Exchange cannot received the message from Gmail, however others works well.
Great checklist from Hotaka.
Additional, I want to double confirm whether any other antivirus and protection software in your environment, also the
Anti-Spam
or
Transport rule settings, for example sensitive words, IP block list and attachment filter, so that the message from external trigger constraints and be rejected. Meanwhile, please double check in OWA.
Besides, please use message tracking log to get more details for this issue. It’s more helpful to narrow down the problem, for your reference:

Cannot Download Email from Server, but can Send

As of a couple of days ago, I cannot receive email from my main server account to which all other email boxes forward. I can, however, send email.
Tried clicking Advanced, under "check with your system administrator before changing any of the advanced options below:" deselected Use SSL, chose authentication of Password and automatically chose port 110.
That did not work.
Can someone please help me fix this? It is a pain to go to webmail.
Thank you in advance.

I changed the incoming port to 995 with SSL on.
That worked!
